2014 MCM-ICM

$16.99

Now Available: View all the Outstanding papers in their entirety.
This will make a great addition to any modeling class or can be used for contest preparation.

ResourceMAP modules are relatively short and designed for flexible implementation; that is, they can be used in regular classes as well as in special test-preparation settings. Each module contains a set of contextual problems in several formats: multi-part open response, short response, and multiple-choice. Accompanying the problem set are tip sheets that serve several purposes including lists of formulas, calculator instruction, and brief reviews of the module's underlying mathematics. Also provided are teacher notes (the module purpose, the mathematical focus, and implementation commentary), answers to all problems, and (in a few cases) handout masters.Learn More

The power to elect officials is the power to change the world, but the mathematics of voting extends far beyond the notion of majority-rule. This election year, use COMAP materials to explore this fascinating process with your students.

The candidate with the most votes wins an election. Simple, right? Wrong. The whole story has as much to do with voting methods as voting numbers .

Casting Your Ballots: Elections is a new multi-media tool from COMAP that allows students to make connections to current events. Both CD-ROM and DVD components contain materials that help students address complex questions that are a very real part of our political system.

• How can different candidates win the same election, depending on which voting method is used? Students examine methods such as Borda, Condorcet, and plurality with runoff.

• How does mathematics define fairness? Can an election process be totally fair?

• What is power ? Explore the notion of “dummies,” the Banzhaf index, coalitions, and how apparently equitable systems can easily turn out to be lopsided and unfair.

As the elections progress and dominate the headlines, students will have a deep understanding of what is happening in the world around them. Learn More
